The forecast for the import of cotton waste, except garnetted stock, to the UK shows a declining trend from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 2.3439 million USD in 2024, it decreases to 1.543 million USD by 2028. This indicates significant year-on-year declines, with an average annual decrease of approximately 9.7%, reflecting industry changes and potential shifts in demand or supply chain dynamics.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in global cotton production affecting waste availability.
- Trade policy shifts post-Brexit impacting imports.
- Innovations in recycling technologies reducing waste exports.
